Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 932 Headache

   Xun Chen left, leaving behind Fei Qian whose head was more and more like a paste.

  What is the academic dispute in later generations like?

There are five major conflicts in the history of science in later generations. The first Galileo vs. the Catholic Church was the first violent conflict between science and religion, and it felt like one man was in charge. The second game was Newton vs. Huygens. The four-hundred-year debate in history directly triggered the source of quantum mechanics; the third time Newton played against Leibniz was the first decades-long quarrel in the history of science; the fourth time Voltaire played against Needham, arguing about the origin of life, was the only large-scale quarrel in which the party with the wrong academic views finally won. It is the first time in the history of science to make an appointment. It is a precedent in terms of form and content. It is very interesting...

  But none of them seem to be as violent as the one in the Han Dynasty!

  If what Fei Qian guessed is true, then almost all Chinese people, whether actively or passively, have been involved in this massive academic debate.

   This is a real headache.

  But soon, there is no worst headache, only more headaches...

  A personal guard came to the hall in a hurry, lowered his head to report, and handed over a salutation: "One person claims to be Pang Xi Pang Ziren, please see the king!"

  Pang Xi?

  Who?

   don't know...

  Fei Qian took it and looked at it, only to see that there were only four words "Yi Lang Pang Xi" written on the place of the name of the inscription of paying homage, and nothing else.

  After reading it over and over twice, even a small wooden sign could not be seen to be any tricks, but after all, it was a visit, not a famous assassin. After thinking about it, Fei Qian agreed to discuss it first.

Since we are going to meet each other, it is better for everyone to carry the bridal sedan chair, so Fei Qian didn't just sit in the hall and wait, but got up and went to the gate of the courtyard. After a while, the guards led a middle-aged man people came near.

Men in the Han Dynasty began to grow beards when they had beards, and there were no such things as skin creams and repairing lotions in later generations, so they generally looked older than their actual age, just like Fei Qian himself has grown a soft beard on his chin now, but looking at the momentum of the development of his beard, I am afraid that there is no hope for the so-called beautiful beard.

  However, the person in front of him has a good beard. Although it is not as sleek as the so-called five-strand beard, there are still three strands, floating in the air, somewhat free and easy.

  Pang Xi came to the front, bowed and said that he had seen Marquis Fei, as if a court official had seen his boss. However, it is not considered flattery, because Fei Qian is now serious about Guang Luxun, who happens to be the boss of the so-called Langguans of these big men, so it is not too much for Pang Xi...

   After the two had met the ceremony, Fei Qian welcomed Pang Xi into the lobby. After the guests and hosts were seated, Pang Xi said a few words of courtesy, and then revealed a piece of news that surprised Fei Qian.

Pang Xi turned out to represent Chang'an's underground opposition to Li Guo... Well, how should I put it, anyway, that's what it meant. He was going to find Fei Qian to carry out an impossible task, to rescue the emperor and all the officials in Chang'an's ruling and opposition parties. !

And what Pang Xi said has a beginning and an end. To put it simply, in the name of the emperor offering sacrifices to heaven, he separated Li Guo and his soldiers from his soldiers. During the season of offering sacrifices to the heavens, Li and Guo were taken directly, just like Dong Zhuo, and beheaded on the spot!

What Fei Qian has to do is to cooperate with the operation of worshiping heaven in the fastest time, bring the soldiers to the vicinity of Chang'an, suppress those Xiliang soldiers who were leaderless and chaotic because of the death of Li and Guo, and restore the order of Chang'an capital , and you're done...

Of course, there are many details that Pang Xi did not explain very clearly, but from the words, it seems that Pang Xi has already united, or the underground party in Chang'an... ahem, those who support Emperor Han, have united Get up, they are all working together for this huge event.

  The emperor sacrificed to the sky, this has to be said, it is a good reason.

   After all, this is the fine tradition of the Chinese emperors. As early as before the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, even when it was pushed to the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there was already such a royal activity.

  The so-called offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, of course, such sacrificial activities cannot be carried out in the city or indoors, and must go to an open area, or a mountain, or an altar. Sacrificing to heaven is a very formal activity. The so-called "a major event of the country lies in the worship and the army", and the sacrifice is even more important than the use of soldiers.

And this season can also be called sacrifices. Although the time for the heaven and earth joint sacrifices in the first month has passed, it makes sense to hold the praying grain ceremony for the world's agricultural affairs. Since it is a heaven and earth sacrifice, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to mess around Come to collide with the whole sacrificial activity, and during the sacrificial ceremony, in order to ensure the standard and integrity of the etiquette, some honor guards and some teams that hold sacrifices and present gifts must be indispensable, and there is a greater chance of mixing in some so-called loyal and brave people. Then at the scene of the sacrifice, there is still a chance to kill Li and Guo who are far away from the soldiers...

The plan is pretty good, and even Fei Qian couldn't think of any flaws for a while. To be honest, Li and Guo must not understand what to prepare for offering sacrifices to the heavens, and they don't understand the process. , so these things Li and Guo are naturally impossible to do, so it creates opportunities for these people who support Emperor Han.

As for the soldiers used to kill Li Guo and others, although Pang Xi didn't mention it, Fei Qian could probably guess that there were quite a few gentry in Chang'an, and there were still some domestic slaves and private soldiers. Since all of them are these people, it is not difficult to mix some into the guard of honor.

  After Pang Xi finished speaking, he looked at Fei Qian quietly.

This is not a simple exchange of words, but Fei Qian has now made it clear that the chariots and horses are fighting against Li Guo, and he has raised troops to capture Sucheng. For those who support Han Emperor in Chang'an, it is naturally considered Above all, it belongs to the ally side. Of course, there are some things that can be explained to a certain extent, and after beheading Li and Guo, the scattered Xiliang soldiers still need Fei Qian to lead troops to suppress and gather them, so we plan with Fei Qian It's no surprise that it came out clean.

   I have to say that Chinese people have a strong ability to learn and imitate. Wang Yun used the method of assassination to take the lead, and now Li and Guo are also new assassination targets...

   Precedent, what a horrible thing, it's also an irony.

  But the question is, should Fei Qian agree?

   This is quite a headache.

  Leaving aside Fei Qian’s troubles for now, there are other people who are also troubled at the same time...

   For example, Cao Cao.

Now Cao Cao is very contradictory and distressed. On the one hand, after Xun Yu came, he brought a lot of talents, such as Man Chong, Du Xi, Yan Xiang, etc. Although it is very good, at least it can be alleviated. Cao Cao has always had major shortcomings in politics and even talent, but...

Xun Yu is good, and the person who recommended him is also good, and it is also a great help to Cao Cao's current territory. After all, the business of people's livelihood and political affairs was originally the old line of work of the disciples of the gentry. It's done, especially Xun Yu was originally a prominent family in Yuzhou, and he also has a certain reputation in Yanzhou. No matter it is compared to Wei Ke or Xi Zhicai, it is much easier to use, and even Xun Yu is most of the time. I don't even need to come forward, just hand over a famous thorn or something and say a little bit, and the Yanzhou gentry will give face, and it will solve the problem that Cao Cao had to drag on for a long time to solve.

  The children of the gentry have their own way of acting and handling things, which certainly benefited Cao Cao a lot, but many of Cao Cao's behaviors were gradually restricted...

   This kind of restriction is of course good and bad. For example, Xun Yu suggested that Cao Cao and the brothers of the Xiahou family of Cao should establish a formal superior-subordinate relationship, especially in formal occasions. Is it bad...

   Mainly focused on the desire to expand Cao Cao's troops.

   The opponents were not Xun Yu, but the local gentry in Yanzhou. As a mediator, Xun Yu also advised Cao Cao not to be too antagonistic to the gentry in Yanzhou for the time being...

   Such a result gradually gave Cao Cao a headache.

The brothers in Cao Cao’s family, um, including the brothers of Xia Hou, are not actually serious gentry, they can only be regarded as arrogance, so don’t look at the fact that the Yanzhou gentry say that Cao Cao is the prefect of Dongjun, but in fact they are not. How much put Cao Cao in the eyes.

Because Cao Teng, Cao Cao's godfather, is actually a poor man seriously, but with the help of the power of the royal family, he became a rich dad and confirmed the **** family of the Cao family. Of course, Cao Cao's godfather is still very famous, Compared with Zhang Rang and his generation, it's like a cloud and mud.

  But Cao Cao still can't climb to the top of the gentry. This requires not only temporary power, but also prestige, writings, and interest groups, all of which are indispensable.

Powerful and strong soldiers, say one thing, kill one when they see a Wubao, and kill one when they meet a noble clan, and kill all those who refuse to kneel and kowtow, bragging about believing in the creed that the strong explain everything. I like to see tricks, but I can't take it seriously.

So a child from a poor family has studied hard for ten years, and as soon as he is named on the gold list, he will become a member of the party. This is the content that TV programs love to see. Things like Cinderella and the Frog Prince naturally belong to the series of fairy tales, and they can’t be regarded as real either. .

  What is the real situation?

   This is what Cao Cao is doing now.

  Although the brothers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family control most of the troops, they still have to rely on the gentry to manage and coordinate local people's livelihood and political affairs...

   Are so many brothers from the Xiahou family of the Cao family loyal to Cao Cao? These soldiers were even recruited by the Xiahou family of the Cao family, who had spent all their wealth. Are they considered Cao Cao's personal troops?

   Of course yes.

So can Cao Cao use righteousness as an ornament, only pursue strength, don't care about family or status, care about the gentry of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, or Han emperor, just blindly strengthen the military and power, and then you can go Swept away all opposing forces?

Cao Cao really wants to do this sometimes, especially when he gradually feels a little restrained, but it is difficult to do it. The noble family is not stupid and sweet. After being slapped on the left side of the face, they will slap the right side of the face. go up.

   It's like a headache for Cao Cao right now.

The gentry in Yanzhou did not dislike Cao Cao, but they did not support Cao Cao with all their strength, so Cao Cao needed some money and food. Yes, no problem, the gentry in Yanzhou readily provided it, but Cao Cao wanted to expand the size of his troops. The recruitment of more soldiers was hampered.

Money and food will not fall from the sky, and most of the common people belong to the gentry and Haoyou, so unless Cao Cao turns his face from now on, raises the butcher knife, like the leader of the yellow scarf, and walks all the way to the black like a bulldozer, no with a bend...

No matter when, where, and what kind of dynasty, groups with interlinked interests, or classes, are the most reliable forces. Of course, there are also disputes within the group, but when it comes to the outside world, especially those that affect the interests of the entire class group At that time, this powerful power will be displayed, let these guys who dare to offend Huwei have a taste of what is called class dictatorship...

  In the Han Dynasty, what other group would be more closely related and related to each other than the blood relationship passed down from generation to generation from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties? When a person becomes a family front actor, he must always take the family's interests as the political orientation. For the Yanzhou gentry, it is natural that they have not yet felt that Cao Cao's wish is everything to them, and they need them to follow suit at all costs.

  Is there anything that the powerful and the gentry are doing against each other?

some.

Cao Cao himself has personally experienced the scourge of the party, so he also knows that this is actually Emperor Heng and Emperor Ling. They really can't stand the so-called "clear discussion" of the gentry. I sprayed that, so I instructed the eunuchs. Of course, the eunuchs were also the most vicious group that was sprayed at that time. They began to hunt down these famous people in the name of "partisans". It killed them for a while, but was it useful?

The first time Emperor Heng was imprisoned was not long. The nobles blinked, curled their lips, pouted their buttocks, and endured it. As a result, Emperor Ling wanted to follow suit, and continued to engage in the second imprisonment. Of course, Emperor Ling of Han He was still young, so the sons of the gentry did not put their hatred on him too much, but after eight years, Emperor Ling of Han felt that the tool of party imprisonment was indeed quite good. Anyway, isn't the power of interpretation in his own hands? Is it the truth, so once again raised the butcher's knife of the party, and there is a growing trend, the children of the noble family saw that the momentum was wrong, first shut up for a while...

  The Yellow Turban Rebellion was born.

hehe.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, believers in the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan were divided into thirty-six parties, with more than 10,000 people in the large area and six or seven thousand people in the small area. It is also necessary to unify the time, unify the steps, unify the command, and unify the actions. This is in the Han Dynasty when communication basically relied on shouting and transportation basically depended on walking. There was no official or semi-official tricks. Who would believe it?

   Anyway, Cao Cao didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

  Later, with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Han Ling was forced to rehabilitate those "partisans" imprisoned by the party...

  So in the struggle between the powerful and the gentry, who won?

  If you don’t even understand this, you’ll be wasting your life for so many years.

So now, Cao Cao doesn't dare to do anything lightly with these gentry in Yanzhou. Food always needs to be eaten at a bite, and things always have to be done slowly. If you want to engage these gentry in Yanzhou, you always need to find some breakthroughs , a little tidying up is the right way, if the sudden movement is too big...

   So what should we do now to find this breakthrough?

  Cao Cao rubbed his head, it hurts...
